Hey there, aspiring pet parents! 🌟 Here comes the vibrant Blaze—a 5-year-old, 68-pound Australian Shepherd bursting with charm and love! This sweet soul has just bounced back from knee surgery and he’s ready to take on the world with you by his side. Can you imagine the adventures waiting for you two? Currently living his best life in Nashville, TN, Blaze is on the lookout for a cozy home where he can truly thrive! Stairs might not be his best friend right now, but lots of love will help him bounce back even more. Here's a little more about this gorgeous guy: - Previously came from a loving home where he was adored alongside a child and another dog—unfortunately, they had to move across the country and couldn’t take their loyal companion with them. 💔 - Blaze is neutered, vetted, microchipped, and is up-to-date on all shots—he's ready to roll! - This boy is protective but in the sweetest way—he’ll make sure to alert you when the Amazon delivery arrives, just to keep you informed. Can you say "protective companion"? - Initially a little shy around strangers, but once he feels safe, it’s snuggle city! 🌈 - He’s the definition of a gentleman when it comes to his crate—you won’t believe how easily he settles down! - Speaking of favorite spots, right beside your bed is where he dreams! 👑 - Walks? Yes, please! He loves short to medium walks and is always up for a "scent-fari!" With each step in his harness, he expresses pure joy! - Amazing at “sit,” a champion at tug-of-war, and a pro fetcher—oh, and he may just chase the occasional bird! 🐦 - Great with other dogs, as long as they know a toy is all for him, and he’s fantastic with kids (just not the tiny toddlers)! Blaze is a gentle spirit who is happiest just being near his humans. He’s your loyal companion ready to follow you from room to room, and while he prefers the floor next to you—he promises to bring warmth and laughter to your home! If you can see Blaze being your perfect match, it’s time to make magic happen! ✨ Make sure to apply through the Buddy App today and let this special boy know he’s got a wonderful future ahead!
